CENTERBURG YOUTH WRESTLING CODE OF CONDUCT
Achieving a high level of sportsmanship in our sport starts with you! Participating in the sport of wrestling is a privilege, not a right. As with all privileges, there comes the responsibility to maintain that privilege. One of your responsibilities as a representative of our community and our sport is to conduct yourself in a way that reflects positively on yourself, your coaches, your teammates, your family and wrestling in general.
The Centerburg Wrestling program is a community based volunteer run organization. It is important that all wrestlers, parents and coaches adhere to the following:
1. I will show good sportsmanship at all times! Swearing, throwing gear, kicking, hitting, talking back will not be tolerated.
2. I will respect and not criticize my teammates and coaches.
3. I will control my temper.
4. I will respect the opposing team and shake hands at the conclusion of each dual/match.
5. I will not taunt or yell at opposing players or teams.
6. I will respect referees and not openly criticize them. I will remember that they are in control of the match/dual and that they are human and will make mistakes. The referees will have the last word, even if it results in me being asked to leave the event.
7. I will show respect to all equipment, supplies and facilities (home and away).
8. I will not make any altercations to club-issued apparel or equipment that must be returned and I understand that I will be held financially responsible for any damages to club issued items.
9. I will strive to have fun and help ensure that my teammates have a fun wrestling experience as well.
10. I will play hard and fair at all times.
11. I will do my very best to be on time and attend practice on a regular basis.
I have read and understand the Centerburg Youth Wrestling code of conduct. I understand that any violation of this code may result in disciplinary action being taken against me up to and including suspended / removal from the team/club/event. Concerns in any of these areas should be brought to one of the Program Coaches or Director. The Coaches and/or director reserve the right to deal with situations on an individual basis and handle accordingly.
